“As the mom of several Gen Z young adults, I admire a long list of things. At the top of the list is their fearlessness in taking smart and calculated risks to find their place in the world. Additionally, I admire their willingness to talk about their mental health challenges and to look for resources to help with them.”
If you took a six-month sabbatical, how would you spend it? I would travel to places that I have never been, including taking a photo safari in Africa, visiting Antarctica, and seeing Machu Picchu in Peru. If it’s during baseball season, I might also visit as many baseball venues as possible.
What is something you learned by mentoring someone? I hope that I have learned to listen well. Mentoring is not about the mentor, but about the person being mentored.
What biases do you believe have an impact on women’s advancement in the workplace? I believe there is an unintentional bias against men mentoring and/or socializing with women with whom they work. Much advancement is based upon those types of relationships, and without them, women may not have the same opportunity to advance.
